After last week's accumulator that I never wrote up and nearly won £19K on, your intrepid stupid bet evoking columnist is getting his act together for this week's round of matches.
Once again we have a weekend of international silly punt madness to peruse over so here are some ill-thought out tips:
- Bahrain to score 1st away to New Zealand, with Nigerian-born Jaycee John Okuwanne providing the firepower upfront. He is good at scoring important headers, ken' which put them into the playoffs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1nMBPPum-M&feature=related 3 minutes in
- Ireland to beat France. Croke Park, bitching atmosphere and Raymond Domenech will all combine to secure a 1-0 victory for the Guinness drinkers. France to win on aggregate though. Glorious failure is the rule for Celtic teams
- Uruguay to beat Costa Rica. Forlan is ace
- Brazil to pump a highly-overrated England. Glen Johnson is the weak link and he has silly hair
Rugby Union Special:
Scotland v Fiji
In the words of Jim Mason, "New coach, new team, new challenge"
These two sides haven't met since the 2003 Rugby World Cup where Scotland only prevailed by a two point margin. Over the past 6 years both sides' fortunes have changed. Fiji are now a genuine top ten team while Scotland are managed by a failed English coach and sit behing Fiji in the world rankings. Scotland will win this one though, just. I predict a tight match with Scotland winning infront of a sparse crowd at Murrayfield by under 10 points.
Nice blog, it's great to come across some tips from the gut based on instinct rather than logic. Reasoning is overrated. But one thing that drives me crazy is the EU's opposition to an open gambling market, which costs punters an arm and a leg as we never get a fair deal on the odds we're quoted, because of restrictions in competition between betting suppliers.
